Amongst these soldiers, there was a portion of the Fire Country's citizens who had been ceded land as compensation.
These people from the Fire Country became the people of the Chen Country and were even enlisted into the army.
Now that they had returned to the Fire Country, they could not have wished for more.
Their relatives in the Fire Country had sent news that the Fire Country had a new ruler.
Not only did they reduce taxes, but they also became the owners of the land.
The Fire Country had actually distributed the land to them.
Let them plant it.
Moreover, they would also let them plant the fertile land that they obtained after clearing the wasteland.
Currently, the Fire Country's citizens were living in joy every day.
They hoped that Xiang Yun would live a long life.
This way, they could always use the fertile land.
Therefore, the citizens of the Chen Nation were envious.
They also wanted to become citizens of the Fire Country and enjoy such treatment.
Especially the few cities that had been split off, they wanted to return to their homeland.
Therefore, after surrendering, they responded positively.
No trouble, no betrayal.
Quite cooperative.
······
Yue Fei looked at the surrendered soldiers in front of him and asked the soldiers to lock them up and watch them.
Then, he led 5,000 soldiers through the thorny path and entered the top of the Devil's Canyon.
The Devil Canyon had always been the territory of the Fire Country, but it was only ceded out later on. Therefore, Yue Fei felt as if he had returned to his hometown, and was rather familiar with it.
"General!" Wu Shangzhi saw Yue Fei and hurried over.
" Mm." Yue Fei nodded. Then, he came to the Devil Canyon and looked at the 60,000 soldiers below.
Then, Yue Fei shouted from above.
" Soldiers of the Chen Nation, listen up!" Yue Fei's voice echoed throughout the valley.
"I know that most of you were born poor and pitiful.
There are even commoners of my Fire Country among you.
It was just that it had been cut out.
I feel very pained about this.
Now, our Fire Country has a new ruler.
Reduce taxes and distribute land.
To improve people's livelihood and encourage business.
More importantly, Your Majesty has given us Humble Class disciples a chance to rise above others.
As long as you are willing to work hard, we might be able to become superior.”
Below, the soldiers of the Chen Nation listened carefully.
When they heard Yue Fei's words, their hearts could not help but be filled with longing.
If it wasn't for their families, who would be willing to go to war?
If there was such a good thing, they would be willing to become citizens of the Fire Country.
" It's true. My relatives in the Fire Country told us about it but unfortunately, before I could ask about it, the war had already broken out."
Yes, I heard that too."
The soldiers of the Chen Nation discussed animatedly.
"Of course, the benefits are not limited to these. If you wish to do business, the Fire Country will support you. If you want to farm, we will distribute the land. If you want to join the army, I will raise my hand to welcome you. Our Fire Country's soldiers not only get paid, but they can also help reduce taxes for their families.
I believe many people know me. My name is Yue Fei, and like everyone else, I am also a disciple of the Humble Class.
Now, through my own hard work, I've reached the position of Great General.
He is highly regarded by the king.
I believe that one day, you will be able to do the same."
"Now, I will give everyone a chance to throw out your weapons through the gaps between the rocks and surrender.
I, Yue Fei, use my head as a guarantee that I will never hurt anyone.
As long as we conquer the State of Chen, we will be one family.
At that time, those who are willing to join the army, those who are willing to go home to farm, I, Yue Fei, will not stop you. Yue Fei was a general, but he was also a Confucian general.
Otherwise, how could he have written such a famous poem like "The River Is Red"?
Yue Fei was not a bloodthirsty person.
Otherwise, he would learn from Baiqi and bury them all.
However, Yue Fei did not have the killing intent of Bai Qi.
How should he put it? Their views were different, and their styles were different.
Baiqi was the God of Killing.
But Yue Fei was not.
He was more willing to turn enemies into friends and then accommodate them.
Hearing Yue Fei's words, everyone looked at one of them.
This person was also the only general who did not escape.
General Shan Shiqi of the Chen Nation.
When Yuan Lang and the others escaped, they did not follow them.
Shan Shiqi was the leader of Tian Hu in the novel Water Margins.
The son of a rich family in Qinzhou was ordered to guard Huguan Pass and surrendered after fighting with the Liangshan Army. Soon after, he followed Song Jiang to attack Wang Qing and died under the sword of Feng Tai, a fierce general in Huaixi.
Shan Shiqi's strength is extraordinary, and he is good at using sticks. Because he killed people, he was afraid of being punished, so he joined Tian Hu's subordinates, resisted the enemy's meritorious service, and pretended to accept the post of military and horse supervisor.
He is used to using a 40-pound iron rod, and his martial arts skills are very good.
······
Shan Shiqi was considered a general in the Chen Nation.
However, because Shan Shiqi was from the Fire Country, even though he had made great contributions many times, he wasn't put in an important position by the King of Chen. He was only a general.
Shan Shiqi looked at the hopeful eyes of the soldiers around him and could not help but sigh.
" Surrender." Shan Shiqi then threw the iron rod through the cracks between the rocks.
When the other soldiers saw this, they also threw their weapons out.
Yue Fei was overjoyed.
" I succeeded."
On both sides of the Devil's Canyon, soldiers gathered their weapons.
Then, he placed them together.
This time, there was a large number of weapons.
He could instantly equip himself.
It could be said that war was the most profitable.
Plundering was the fastest way to amass wealth.
This sentence was indeed not bad.
After that, Yue Fei left Wu Shangzhi to deal with the matters here. He then joined Yue Yun and launched an attack on Zhuxiang City.
Speed was important in war. He wanted to take this opportunity to recover the mountains and rivers.
While Yue Fei was attacking the city, Xiang Yun encountered trouble.
